Got the weirdest email today, I thought it was a scam at first, but I looked into it and found the person on LinkedIn, and loads about the company online, so fairly sure it was legit. Fucking weird either way.

It was a company called iSoftStone, (https://issworld.isoftstone.com/) and they're a "crowdsourcing specialist" doing work for a software company working on facial recognition technology.

According to the mail, they wanted me to curate and upload photos from my phone; the collection had to contain as many images as possible (like hundreds) of the same four people in as many poses, angles and environments as possible. It's essential that they be date and time stamped across the past couple of years.

In exchange for these I would be paid $80 via paypal.

Not convinced it wasn't a scam of some sort, but if it wasn't...sinister as fuck, no?
